Resume and Credentials

I help governments and organizations design governance systems that can actually keep up with today’s world — tech revolutions, geopolitical curveballs, and everything in between. Over the last twenty years, I’ve worked across continents and sectors: building an award-winning circular homeware venture that created sustainable livelihoods, leading provincial grant programs that fuel innovation, and mentoring entrepreneurs who want to do both good and well. I’m a Prosci change practitioner and MIT-trained in AI Strategy — but mostly, I’m obsessed with turning good ideas into systems that are ethical, adaptive, and built to last.
